fatty 241 Posted March 11, 2013 I'm really digging the spartan IV or 5" in 9mm and I think this will be my next buy. Can anyone direct me to any sites or shops that carry these? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatty 241 Posted March 11, 2013 Also, would I be able to swap out the trigger for the usual 1911 replacement? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old School 611 Posted March 11, 2013 Also, would I be able to swap out the trigger for the usual 1911 replacement? The Spartan is true 1911 pattern and should take 1911 parts. The fire control parts are forged STI parts though the slide, barrel and frame are imports. Incredible bang for the buck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikos 31 Posted March 11, 2013 I purchased the 5" recently from Joe Bobs for $670 shipped. http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/STI_Spartan_5_0_1911_9mm_p/gun-50919028.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think is might be my only option at this point with free shipping nonetheless. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zoid 24 Posted March 12, 2013 I'm kinda confused. Does the Spartan come with front serrations or not? I see some pics with and others without. Dawson site shows without, JoeBobs shows with. Which is it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted March 12, 2013 Maybe it depends on barrel length. I believe they no make a Spartan III, IV and V Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted March 12, 2013 Just looked at their website. III and IV - no forward serrations. V has forward serrations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatty 241 Posted March 12, 2013 Yea its only the 5" that has front serrations. The spartan IV has the 4.26" bull barrel I believe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Little Red Rooster 0 Posted March 12, 2013 I'm really digging the spartan IV or 5" in 9mm and I think this will be my next buy. Can anyone direct me to any sites or shops that carry these? The last time I was at Lou's in Raritan they had 1-2 of the Spartan IV's in 9mm. I almost bought one of them, but ended up going with a revolver instead. I already have a 1911, but if I didn't I would have got the Spartan. Very nice feel and relatively low price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sludog 0 Posted March 20, 2013 Are Spartans well made? I saw a break down on YouTube and it looked cheaply made. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
